Well looks like there'll be a vintage machine stitching all those gorgeous vintage fabrics....Thanks for sharing the joy!

Do you find the vintage fabric holds up well? Can you wash it and then use it as you would new fabric? Or is it more for "collecting" or wall type hangings, etc.?

I usually only buy the fabric that has a meaty hand to it... I leave the thin or flimsy stuff for somebody else. Everything that I got this trip felt really nice, and seem to be very sturdy. I dont think I would have any trouble using it in a quilt today.

I love the vintage fabrics and have quite a collection including a large stack of feedsacks. I think I recognize a few pieces you have. Your bird book would make nice applique designs. I had my husband enlarge a picture one time by using a graph chart. I then traced the pieces of the enlarged picture to make applique templates. Turned out very nice.
